Next row in my #readinglogsnake is the graphic novel March Book One. I read this in honor of #BlackHistoryMonth. The March trilogy gives Congressman John Lewis' account of his lifelong struggle for civil and human rights. This covers his younger years and the lunch counter sit ins. Beautifully drawn and a great way to share light of the civil rights movement. 5/5 ⭐️ #ARRCReads #BooksAndCrafts

My last book for 2022. All the stars for this graphic novel trilogy of the civil rights movement. Beautiful artwork and such a story. Thanks to Litsy I‘ve delved into graphic novels this year and they have been some of my best reads. Ducks is up next. As a grassroots activist who has worked 30 years on environmental campaigns, the conflicts and hard decisions on political strategies really resonated. Does compromise help or hurt a cause? 🔽

SamAnne Depends on the situation! Difficult decisions to make. I‘ve been on both sides. All young political organizers should read this trilogy. I plan to read Malcom X autobiography and the biography published a few years ago for Black History Month. 1y
SamAnne And these books have brought me to tears. I‘ve read a lot about the civil rights movement and the violence and the bravery. But reading John Lewis‘ words with the artwork—heart wrenching, hopeful at times—makes for visceral storytelling. 1y
sarahbellum One of my favorites. What a legend! 1y

Because of You, John Lewis | Andrea Davis Pinkney

Beautifully illustrated, this book is really about a child named Tybre Faw who was so inspired by John Lewis and how their friendship was formed. Truly an #everybodybook younger children would need a lot of support to understand the content, but there's plenty of time for that. Any child could relate to the admiration Faw has for Lewis.

3 of 3. Conclusion was Selma Bridge. Bloody Sunday. Of which I feel I‘ve learned more about here than anywhere else. Now I feel I understand the march. Very informative and historic set told by someone who was there. Who believed so hard in equality he was arrested and beaten almost to death multiple times. This moment here had me in tears after reading John‘s pilgrimage. This was so well written, for anyone to understand.
Make good trouble.

Book 2 of 3 focused more upon the Freedom Day and the horrors of fighting for the right to vote. This one was a lot darker than the first. I‘ve never heard of this day meant to encourage people to register to vote. This was more educational, I felt, than the first which focused more of John‘s upbringing into the civil rights movement. above is a stark reminder of where we are now. Nice insert of Obama‘s inauguration, thanking John for all he did

Book 1 of 3. This is a start up of how John Lewis grew up and got into the civil rights movement. Well written and paced. Dark colors throughout; no colors. This gives the story a certain feel to me. Hard to put into words. At least the colors don‘t take away from Lewis‘s autobiographical story. It‘s serious stuff. This whole training to react nonviolently to prepare for their sit-ins struck me.

Hard to read but so important and so well-told and drawn. John Lewis and all the people who helped him in the civil rights movement are heroes.
